Saturday and Sunday is the ARRL's (Amateur Radio Relay League) Field day. If you've ever been interested in becoming a Ham, this would be the perfect chance for you to meet local hams and participate in a great hobby.

Field day tends to be where hams get together at a venue and set up temporary radio communications to attempt to make as many contacts as possible in 24 hours using everything from Morse Code to Satellite Communications. Many computerized modes will be used as well as classic digital modes such as RTTY and Hellschriber
